Had some fun with this mix. There were a lot of challenges to overcome. And this genre is still new to me. How high do I mix the vocals? Are the cymbals supposed to be lower or higher in the mix? What is the role of the bass in this genre? etc.
I listened to some reference mixes but there are very few female metal bands to compare this to. (At least I didn't find many).
Anyway. Here's my version...

Hi SalyerGL,
Pretty solid mix. I'm in the dark for the most part with this genre also, but it sounds like you're on the right path. I'm not a big fan of the doubled vocals in this song. I guess they gave us the 2 vox tracks to explore the possibilities though. I also feel the overheads (cymbols) may be a little bright and washy at times. (prehaps some transient controlling?) Anyway these are just taste things a not really a criticism. Nice Work

I like most of the choices you made. I think the vocals are a bit thick at points and could use some creative flavoring. I also notice the drums losing impact as the song gets more dense. You are on the right track for sure.
